I contacted 4 or 5 different people today, advertising pure-bred kittens at a very low price. Most were charging $500 or even less for these kittens and the photos were showing absolutely adorable, top of the line examples of these kittens. After about 45 minutes, I realized that every one of these sellers were running a scam. They all followed the same formula:
1. I texted one seller who posted that they lived in Brooklyn. This was Awemba, who was selling a Siamese kitten. When I wrote that I lived in Manhattan and I would like to come meet the seller and the kitten, he/she texted back that they were no longer living in Brooklyn they had just moved to the mid-west for a new job. The date the ad was posted was today - they obviously didn't realize I would see that. I was told the kitten would be shipped to me without any extra charge. As soon as I said I would not buy a kitten sight unseen, they dropped all communication.

2. A woman named Cynthia L. Was selling a Bengal & wrote that she lived in Trumbull, CT. Again, I texted that I would like to come meet. She wrote feel free to call - when I called I got an announcement that I should leave a message for Juan. "Cynthia's" area code was not a Connecticut number - it was the area code for San Antonio, Texas.

3. Dorothy C. Posted a photo of a gorgeous purebred Bengal that every breeder is selling for $2,500, which is the going price for these kittens. She was selling her kitten for $400. She also wanted to ship the kitten, with payment up front.

4. David F. Had a similar story - when I contacted him, his name was now Lee Wange (no explanation offered) and he was in Las Vegas with the kittens of his deceased mother so he would have to ship them. These were the terms he sent:
"When you email me the information's, we shall prepare the change of
Ownership papers before we do the delivery registration with the
Carrier. And i also note that it will cost you $500 before the kitten
Including the delivery and sale fee and you will be making the
Payment directly and UPFRONT FIRST to the delivery agency. Then you will be
Contacted by the shipping carrier and they will tell you exactly the
Arrival time of the kitten to your doorstep and I will send all the
Paper works for the kitten together with the health certificates and
Ownership papers."

I can't imagine anyone naive enought to send money under these terms! There were 2 more cases like this. All had the same method. These are all frauds. I hope this helps potential buyers to avoid getting scammed.

I ordered a dress that looked adorable on line, but when it came yesterday, it was garbage. The fabric was completely see-through and as cheap looking as possible, the stitching was sloppy beyond belief and the dress was so small I couldn't get into it. And I wear a size 2! There was no paper work included in the package. I've been trying, with no success, to contact customer service on line. I've decided to toss the rag and chalk it up to a bad lesson. It really doesn't get worse than this. The business is a total scam. Apparently they're located in China, so they feel they can get away with a fraudulent business. Don't be fooled - stay away from Rosegal.
